    1986 Johnson 90hp V4 starts & runs great but does not charge the battery

    I have a 1986 Johnson 90hp V4 motor that runs great & goes like crazy... But, it doesn't charge the battery. Can someone please tell me how to correctly identify whether the problem is my stator or my regulator/rectifier? Thanks, in advance!

    1986 Alumacraft Trophy 170 - New Transom Build

    Last summer, I got a good deal on a 1986 Alumacraft Trophy 170. It was a Craigslist find that the seller had bought at an auction & hadn't put into the water. The transom seemed solid, until I got it in the water & the splashwell caulk started to separate. I knew there was a problem, so I babied...

    1966 Johnson 20hp prop seal Q & a special thanks

    1966 Johnson 20hp Clutch Dog w/ grooved face

    I just bought a used (beaten) 1966 Johnson 20hp FDL-20C. It needs lower unit work & when I disassembled my gear housing & removed the gears from my prop shaft, I didn't pay attention to my clutch dog... Now, I see there is a set of double grooves on one face of the part. Is this from wear, or...
